Today..... (Reply)

I am not doing well today....I am mentally, spiritually, and emotionally exhausted and devoid of happiness. I want to wallow. I truly do. And in my opinion. there isn't anything wrong with a good wallow now and then. But for me to wallow today will only continue to make things worse. Instead of wallowing today I made a list.

1. Walk. I went for a walk outside. I walked for 1.19 miles. It was really cold but very soothing because it felt cleansing like it was freezing out all of the bad things.

2. As soon as hubby gets out of the shower, I am going to take a nice long hot bubble bath with some of my favorite lavendar scented bubble bath to help me clear my mind and promote relaxation, wash my face with my favorite face wash, and then use lotion when I get out of the bath as a way to pamper myself.

3. I am going to make myself some peppermint tea.

4. I am going to do a LOT of housework today. Normally I shun this, *small smile* but I know that partially this is why I am feeling so badly and I have the suspicion that if I take care of my house, that not only will I feel accomplished by the end of today, but I will have a good start to my week, and I will feel better emotionally, mentally, spiritually. This includes, laundry, dishes, mopping, vaccumming, changing sheets, grocery shopping, cooking dinner, and budgeting.

5. I am going to find someone and do something nice for them today.

And if I feel up to it and have some time, I am going to check out some Wii dance games or maybe Wii Zumba....

In between all of these things, I am going to strive to give myself positive messages, I am going to pray, I am going to practice patience and discipline, and I am going to have faith and hope that things WILL get better.
